Removing An '89 Morgan From Bracelet

FYI

1. The disc I removed it from



2 and 3 obverse pics. Sadly.polished alot.




4. After the glue is removed, notice my hand reflect off the surface



5. Another after glue removed, different angle.



6.7.8 just show where the glue was.





9 is the coin in the acetone. I was just so excited I had to take a pic

both sides has been polished as you can see by the reflective surface in the eagles breast. If you do use it as a pocket piece it can wear the coin down but it will lose a few grades but the value would stay the same because a problem free example (like it would be when wore down past the polishing) even in lower grade would be worth the same and maybe even a little more than a polished example like you have now

I think the obverse is simply a victim of having been a nice piece of jewelry. Simple wearing of the item would result in all those scratches. Jackets and shirt sleeves rubbing over it and the like.

The reverse IS lovely. I can't say wether I would pocket piece it or not.

I'm not gonna use it as a pocketpiece. Since.the.reverse.is.mirror like, I'm going with experts and assuming it has been polished. Unless it was a proof, it shouldnt havethat kind of finish.
